The 2024 MLB regular season is already underway and with most teams opening up their season in under a week, we are officially in the final days of the offseason and our path to finding sleeper teams to buy in on before they start balling out under the bright lights.
The Los Angeles Dodgers open up the season as favorites to win the Fall Classic, and rightfully so, as they possess one of the best offenses and one of the best pitching staffs in the sport. They have a lengthy history of experience in the postseason, which should serve them well when they are back in the hunt for another championship. However, if you want to back the Dodgers to go all the way, it is in your best interest to bet them game-by-game or series-by-series when the time comes rather than buying in on their steep price of +300 to +350.
The variance of baseball makes finding futures worth the journey more so than in many other sports because of the value in mispriced longshots. The market is set and it is our time to find betting value before the public adjusts. Last season the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks met in the World Series after having pre-season odds of +5000 and +10000, respectively. In this article I will identify 2 best bets for the 2024 World Series title, finding 2 organizations in a better position to win it all this year than their Vegas price suggests.
Seattle Mariners (+2000)
